Based on my thorough research on the Internet, the hard disk drive of your Toshiba Satellite L305-S5945 is located at the bottom left part of the back of the laptop. For your convenience, I have researched the image for the exact location of the driver. You can refer to the supporting image below.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
